It is extremely rare for today's writers to create a bibliography by hand. Technology is changing the way we learn, so it is best to use citation sources that are updated frequently rather than rely on your own knowledge of documentation formats.
The most common forms of formatting and documentation are Chicago, APA (American Psychological Association), and MLA (Modern Language Association). Since MLA is most common, we'll use that.
Bibliography creators are online systems that create your list of sources in correct format for you. You only need to type in the information correctly and submit. Some will keep a running list for you, but most require that you copy and paste the information into a Word document. Finally, you'll need to organize your bibliography alphabetically by the author's last name, double space it, and title it.
